Can’t Attend? Donate A Car Instead

If you can’t attend any of these June Walk for Wishes events, consider car donation. You can still share the power of a wish through a donated car, truck, boat, motorcycle, or camper. Call 1-877-431-9474 or fill out an easy online vehicle donation form.

Your unwanted vehicle will be picked up or towed away at no charge to you, and you will receive a great tax deduction at tax time. The best benefit of all, however, is the fact that your car donation will help to make a wish come true for a child in your community.

CDF's mission is to help these benefitting charities fulfill their missions with proceeds from CDF's car donation programs. CDF and all benefitting charities are separate and unaffiliated 501c organizations.
